Brad Pitt as an Inglourious Basterd

During World War II a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.

Within only a week of shooting, the very first photo of Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine from Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards, Inglorious Basterds...Inglourious Basterds has appeared. This photo comes from the QT Archives, where they report in with a quick description of the character. "This is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee, a man with a scar around his neck that 'will never once be mentioned,' this is Brad Pitt in one hundred percent Quentin Tarantino Nazi-scalping business.'"

Here’s a little quote from the much quoted Aldo Raine opening speech: “… I sure as hell, didnt come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half Sicily, and then jump out of a ****in air-o-plane, to teach the Nazi’s lessons in humanity.”

What do you think of that?
